Non profit fund raising methodologies with grant of options

Abstract

This invention allows a donor to receive an immediate tax write off from their donation, yet still receive an interest in profits from future research funded by the donation, as a gift of out of the money options. The charity gets a new pool of donors who can potentially make a profit from the donation, making raising funds easier. The company gifting the options receives licensing of intellectual property, grants and loans from the foundation. The system is modeled on German Tax shelter funds.
